The federal commissioner representing Akwa Ibom state in the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), Imo Akpan, has pledged to enhance service delivery in the state.
Akpan made the pledge while meeting with the commission’s management and staff in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state capital, weekend.
He stated that the commission’s core mandate must be vigorously pursued and domesticated in Akwa Ibom state during his tenure.
Akpan promised to ensure the state office runs in synchrony with the headquarters, emphasising teamwork to achieve great heights.
“We stand to achieve great heights if we work as a team. We must be pacesetters in the comity of RMAFC state offices,” he stated.
He assured staff that communication channels would remain open and that their concerns would be duly addressed.
The RMAFC is mandated to monitor revenue accruals and disbursements, review revenue allocation formulae, advise governments on fiscal efficiency, determine remuneration for political officeholders, and discharge other constitutional functions.
Staff members congratulated Akpan on his appointment and wished him a successful tenure. Mrs. Margaret Archibong, deputy director and state coordinator, commended Akpan for being realistic about addressing operational issues in Akwa Ibom state.
